We would meet at a totally unexpected venue or situation. Maybe I would be looking up from my book trying to process a line and our eyes would meet. It wouldn't be an electric glance, but rather one of complete understanding, an understanding I can't yet come up with. We would both return to what we are doing and maybe you would leave first. We would meet again at the same place a month later and this time we might actually strike up a conversation. I would be reading a book you've already read and I would be surprised and impressed when you quoted the book. We would discuss and share our opinions on the book and feel a comfortable bond between us. But we wouldn't give each other our numbers because we have been tempted and excited by coincidence and fate. We would share a friendly smile and return to whatever we were planning to do. Nevertheless we will be looking forward to meeting each other whenever we visit our place. We will meet 3 weeks later and I wouldn't be reading this time. I would be looking around with a wandering eye and then our eyes will meet. I will give a beautiful smile and our hearts will be beating faster than usual and you will sit opposite me and you'll pull out a book from your bag. You told me to read it cos it's a great book and your life has changed since you read it. I would smile and take another book from my bag and give it to you. Then you'll go on with whatever you were planning to do and I'll start reading the book. You'll leave before me and we have yet to exchange numbers. I would feel disappointed but intrigued by the continued mystery. At night I will be reading the book and I will notice a note in one of the pages. On top of that would be your number and a funny line. I would laugh and text you immediately. The same night you'll be lying on your bed reading my book and processing my favorite quotes I underlined. You would smile upon receiving my text and we will start texting our favorite lines to each other. Maybe we will fall in love, maybe we will be best friends or friends for life. But life is chokeful of possibilities and the best is we never know what will come next.
